history

The first church in Haaren was first mentioned in a document in the 9th century and named under the Corveyer patronage in the 11th century . From 1749 to 1751 today's parish church was built in the baroque style. The simple quarry stone hall has a choir closed on three sides . The walls are divided by round windows and buttresses . In 1847 it was almost destroyed by fire. After a fire in 1861 the building was extended by a yoke to the west. In the same year the west tower was built, which was increased in 1893. The choir vault was expanded in 1879 according to plans by the cathedral builder Arnold Güldenpfennig , with the groin vaulted yokes separated from one another by wide belt arches .

Furnishing

  • In the period from 1678 to 1683, the Meinolphus shrine was made of wood by Philip Georg Brüll. The rich carving and the lying stag were probably taken by Anton Splidthoven . The richly used vermilion red color is characteristic of Fürstenberg foundations. The coat of arms shows that the founder was Bishop Ferdinand von Fürstenberg.
  • The baroque font dates from the 16th century .
  • The simple altars are works from around 1760, some of them have been added more recently. The altar leaves were replaced in the 19th century.
